LTG is EXACTLY on the yard-marker. Ball is placed a full half yard short.

Coach - "Can we get a measurement?"
Me - "No, sir."
Coach - "What?!?!?!"
Me - "No, sir, it's not even close."
Coach - "I want a gawdam measurement."
Me - "No sir, you missed by at least half a yard."
Coach - "You don't decide when we need a measurement, WE do! I get a measurement if I gawdam ask for one! I coached for 20 years in Mississippi and have NEVER had one of you numbnuts not give me one..." at this point he's about to the numbers and he kept on gum-flapping, but I was too busy signalling the sideline warning to hear him.

My question. I'm in Texas, doing NCAA rules.

Is there some rule in FED requiring officials to give a measurement on any request (making him correct about Mississippi), or is this blowhard simply wrong in TWO rulesets?
